I entered to look around the center and decide if the center was the one for my son, the staff very friendly, the sirectir very helpful and very professional.. I'm glad I drop off my son every morning. He doesn't cry anymore and when I pick him up he doesn't want to leave the center. Am very happy with curriculum and staff. Good job, Scribblescrabble
My boys love it here. They are always happy to go to school as they call it. I thought that they would have anxiety since they have never been to a day care but they were fine. No tears at all. The director is there every morning when I drop them off and even tho they offer food they do not mind me bringing the food for my boys. They have so much patience. I am so glad that I found them and even tho I saw these reviews from years ago I decided to try it out after visiting them several times at different times of the day.
Me thinking since i live across from the daycare that it would be more convinient for myself and my son to go to scribble scrabble. I was wrong its one of the worst daycares. I noticed a couple of things that to me didnt meet the requirements to have a license . One there is no survillance cameras what so ever to watch who comes in or out at whatever time . 2 they use harsh smelling chemicals to clean and mop the floors, its horrible . They mop while the kids ate still there and my son fell & started bleeding from his nose . They werent feeding anything to my son besides cookies and milk. They never put my sons butt rash creme on . Besides he was always sick of his tummy in that daycare. These people seem like they hate to be around kids, take it from a person that voluteered there, ME! oh the director shes the rudest shes never there so dont even bother asking for YAZMINA . I was absolutely in shock of how unprofessional they are. Since then i took my son out of that daycre now he is in a much better daycare and everyday he is happy & well fed & well taken care of . DONT PUT YOUR SCHILD IN SCRIBBLE SCRABBLE ON 4409 BERGEN TPKE NB . Just because they offer all these things and afterschool programs doesnt mean that they are doing their jobs .
This day care is horrible. I go to the park where this daycare takes the kids to play and theres really no supervision the employees are talking to each other and the kids are beating up the younger ones. This daycare is over populated to many kids the place is dark no real lightings no place for kids to be. I don't like it. And the director is never there. I WOULD CHECK BE 4 I WASTE MY MONEY.
